Tips on how to do a deadbug exercise correctly

- This is an extremely popular exercise because it's awesome!!! But, one I find often done incorrectly. Check out these tips to make sure you aren't wasting your time the next time you try this exercise.
This exercise should make your abs burn! It creates core strength, helps heal a diastasis and increases pelvic stability.
Omg this is such a helpful video. I truly appreciate the mental cues about breathing the back into the floor. I hold so much tension in my right neck while trying to do core work. Thank you so much.
You know what ... I am basically incensed that I have never before heard the cue to press the back of my ribs into the floor to flatten my lower back. I am 65. One would think that over these many years, I would have come across it, especially since I have been diligently searching out exercises for well over 50 years. I did not realize that I was majorly clenching my glutes and my neck and my chest. No wonder I struggle with deadbugs. With your help, I am now doing them properly and it is making all the difference. Thank you so very very very much.
That's great! Glad the tips are helping.
Great tutorial. Thank you :)
The breathing alone brought me stability. I'm thankful for this video
Yay!
Excellent, thank you
This is a great video!
I think this really will improve my form on this while doing the reddit RR for bodyweight fitness.
This is very helpful! I assume that, after you master this with proper control, is when you lift your knees and arms up into upside down table top position and begin incorporating the extension of opposite arms and legs?.......Same thing with holding the core tight and stable with back down and breathing, just using larger movements, yes?
Yes, exactly!! And you can add resistance to make it even harder.
Oh, great idea! Thanks!! :)
When i lie neutrally, my tailbone is poking on the floor and feels bad. So far i have tucked my butt "under the legs", im still not totally sure how i should do this
These are like driving test instructions lol i hope i pass
Haha!
I’m trying to follow all of ur instructions and still find that my neck and collarbone feel really tight.
My back is completely flat against the floor most of the time (very small arc when I move my leg) and I’m trying really hard to use just my abs but...it’s not working :(
You may just need to keep practicing or you may need to work on strengthening your abs more before your able to do this exercise (or both) without neck tension.
my pt told me that while exhale put your belly inwards and while inhale ur belly should come up
not while doing ab work.
Hello Dr.
I have the left aic pattern and When i do the deadbug exercice i feel the left side of my abs burning a lot more than my right is this ok ? Thank you
Sure, that's fine. If you have the left AIC pattern,then feeling it more onthe left side is a good thing.
Should we not do all breathing through our nose ? Reading Breath by james Nestor , seems it’s vital we get how we breath right as well as posture yes ?
I have lots of videos on proper breathing, they may help. Here are a few. ua-cam.com/video/IYITthRs6cc/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/vI_UUPhQ9qY/v-deo.html Breathing and posture are both very important, yes.
Hi, I've been trying your exercises for the pelvic floor and I have a diastasis. So when I try to breathe into the back as recommended in your other vioes that weire neck thing does happen where even though my si and ribs are in line my neck does that thing and sonsondo then shoulders. Honestly holding that positing 9f the ribs stacked itself is very challenging as my muscles start spasming. Any tips?
Sorry, what do you mean by that neck thing?
@@CoreExerciseSolutions No as in.. ok im struggling with these. Basically i have an extremely tight pelvic floor and can barely contact it . I'm not sure what sensations to feel exactly .... I have a muscle activation problem... in general... even breathing the way its mentioned is difficult ...so when i try to stack my ribs by breathing down into my back into an exhale ... my rectum sort of opens up which is in a chronically contracted state ....to the point that when people say breathe into the pelvic floor i cant really ... also when i breathe down into my back my ribs stacked my chest does also shorten and my abs tighten.. how one breathes in that tightened ab position seems almost impossible for me ...and no my pelvic floor does not contract when i breahe into the back unless i stack my ribs with my chest shortened ... if feels like a lack of connection... and when i keep my chest open.. on the exhale there seems to be some sort of straining in my rectum like im bearing down...
@@sadasivam123 Sounds like you would really benefit from seeing an in person Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist so they can help you figure out exactly what is going on so you can work on correcting it. Sorry you are having to deal with all of this!
With a big booty, flattening your back is a issue. Any tips? Great tutorial.
Go into a posterior pelvic tilt and tuck your butt under. Glad you liked the tutorial!
@@CoreExerciseSolutions I thought you mentioned not to do a posterior pelvic tight/bum under??
@@lw7654 Not unless you need to be able to do the exercise with good form such as above. Also sometimes it depends on what you are trying to get out of the exercise.
How should I setup my low back? Everyone says that you SHOULD do a posterior tilt. Yet here you say we shouldn't. It's confusing
I usually do not recommend it unless you need to do it to be able to do the exercise with good form (for example- if you have a larger backside). Also sometimes it depends on what you are trying to get out of the exercise.
this is awesome and helpful, but it would be better if you wore tighter top so i can see your waist
I have a fatty lower pooch- have a surgical scar above it that pushes in and the fat sticks out even more. How do I tell if the sticking out is from fat or too much of an advanced exercise - can you elaborate on the doming? Thanks.
Watch yourself in a mirror or video screen on your phone- feel underneath the tissue - do you feel muscle firing? I like to feel for does the muscle underneath flatten evenly between your hip bones and then when you go to do the movement you don't want any change in the tissue - that would be an indicator of pressure down/or doming. Let me know if that makes sense!
What’s the difference between this method (exhaling to brace) and inhaling to brace? I inhale to brace and try to maintain that hold or act like I’m about to get punched in the gut or cough. I do this and then try to perform the deadbug.
Just curious, because that’s how my PT taught me.
Thanks!
